Cheap Dreams

I think the very fact that schools are willing to lower their standards by weaking the pool of teams says alot about this issue. It's not about fair, its not about advantages, its about teaching kids to settle or excell. Schools who demand excellence and keep the goal high are winners. Schools who lower the bar tolerate second best. The NIT champ each year can claim what...being the 65th best college basketball team. Is that really the kind of title you want for your team. Best of the Weaker teams. If Public schools or private schools want to teach a real life lesson to the kids...don't let it be to settle for second best. Teach excellence. It really is more important than winning.

thanks jaxman, you said it perfectly. it isnt right to penalize all private schools because of a few abusers.

You know, guys, I am a private school supporter, but don't you make their case by playing 1A or 2A ball? What do you think the 1A Champion can lay claim to, following your logic? #293 in the state?

They are playing to their enrollment...I did'nt realize that Ezell was so small...its a medium sized 1a school.

No. Private schools are not asking for a change. We are not asking to take out the good public schools, we are saying let the better team win, if that isn't us, we will work harder and come back next year. We are not asking to get rid of the good teams so we can get a cheap victory.
